1:10 am
inflection pointing in bond yields. what we have leading into that was everybody was concerned about the trend growth, low inflation, low rates and the permanent rager -- nature of that. that's what the case, your greatest risk was higher. did was u.s. election light a fire under that trend. we have seen a pretty significant move up in yields. a stabilization from the middle of december. that is when we took a short position off. we actually allocated back to the u.s. treasuries. since then i have cut that position and effectively put the reflation trade back on by cutting all of my treasury positions in the portfolio. interesting that you use one of phrases,ssic market

1:23 am
only about 100,000. in folksong we are about 11 million songs. the reaction, a very forceful ceo coming out and calling it hogwash. disappointedvery by this and that's really shows this company is willing to fight back. hads been blindsided, meetings with the epa a meeting despicable of weeks before and everything seemed fine. here's a company really coming out fighting back. after the initial hit they did come back. sayingsergio marchionne this must be an understatement. is been a charge of the company for quite some time. the potential numbers that we are looking at, put it in context. $23 billion. i am. what would that mean.
1:24 am
--? is that civil and criminal together? benedict: we don't know how that will break down. derived fromillion the number of cars. that he is kicked off this probably not directed at his own engineers brother the epa. you raise an interesting point, volkswagen is a company that is a lot bigger and deeper pockets. $20 billionsorbed in fines and levees. most would be bankrupt under such a waste. this is something that will be very difficult for fiat to absorb. marchionne does have a reputation on the line. anna: thank you very much. joining us from berlin.

industry massively. this is very much on their radar screen. manus: look at volkswagen and fiats. when you look at the stories do you shift gears? in terms of propensity and exposer? they are a specific case and until we know exactly what of the lawsuits will be it is very difficult to say how that's will impact the bottom line. fiat-chrysler very strong. a different case because they have a u.s. american parts to it. very different cases. anna: staying with us on day rate. much more to discuss with him. the china story which we will go into. oil productions near and on the

1:31 am
great insights talking about the differences between this story and the bmw story. the next story looks at the fed's speakers reinforcing the tightening case with some caveats. little opportunity to talk about the fed this morning but a great insight on whether the inflation trade is still on from our guest in singapore. he certainly believes we are going back to that as bond yields go higher. manus: daybreak also has the story on russia's governor who is set to speak at a four-run in moscow.- forum in guy: we are affecting a positive performance from the ftse. the ftse 100 looks like it will be opening up around .5% according to the activation on your bloomberg this morning you outperforming its continental --
1:32 am
how fiat opens a little later. has not been the sterling but what is going on with the dollar. the dollar has been week, one of the big trades as we work our way out of this reflationary emphasis. the dollar has been the real story. the greenback has come under great selling pressure. we are beginning to bump up, indicators that may provide some upside momentum into next week. talking about no major obstacles for the u.s. economy. something of the want to mention as well because this has been the theme. we concert back to sterling and talk about the week liquidity's. this has been a medley morning for what has been happening with the dollar and the turkish lira. this is where week liquidity is an issue. that is where we see some of the biting of the dollar t.r.y..
1:33 am
it has been interesting to see how the liquidity stories is working its way through and how bad it is increasingly a feature. if this is just regular flow that has been preprogrammed or taking advantage of small movements? extrapolating them a little further. there is continuation but i want to hold at a big point. -- highlight the big point. placeend is back in surrounding what is happening with gold. nice to see some of those formations still working. back to you. that's get to oil, the saudi arabian defense minister has said the oil production is 10 milliond to
1:34 am
barrels a day. below the targeted level. anna: saudi arabia will consider renewing its pledge to cut out in six months. it comes as oil and us 10 millin barrels a day. below the targeted level. -- ministers hold the many opec in on without me. us for a conversation about the meeting now. however oil prices reacted to the latest comments? up,rter: we saw them move the very important meeting here. as an unofficial meeting. i just spoke to the energy minister and all the spec elation about a many opec, there is no truth to it. a casual conference. we might be having dinner later. you mentioned saudi arabia, this became a little bit of a surprise in terms of saudi arabia going beyond the call of duty. under 10 million barrels per day, the last time that happened was february 2015.
1:35 am
the role ofng leadership within opec. goingre committed and beyond that. similar signals from kuwait, from l syria -- algeria. anything else that anybody wants to do that is up to them and it is a bonus. me get you a little bit of this tells you the story of two heavyweights. thenon-opec elephant in room. you are looking at opec production. you can see how it falls off of the agreement comes into force. when you also see in the tellsop, the histogram the story of u.s. current inventories which remain at the highest seasonal level in three decades. that is the kind of oil in the system that needs to start getting out of the system for oil prices to really rally behind $625 per barrel. manus: he say today is perhaps a little more laissez-faire.
1:36 am
what do you expect? is this a show of strength from the core of opec trying to set a roadmap for those nonmembers? i am challenging russia, giving our bit to you. reporter: light muscle flexing. nothing formal is on the agenda but the fact we are here and talking and continuing to follow up with the monitoring committee in terms of building a clear agenda for the way forward in terms of making sure that you are measuring the barrels correctly and everybody is on the same page, it is an enormous logistical challenge. a historical track record of when coverage says it has been 70%.
1:37 am
if you look at 80% this time around and your surprising the market a little bit, you're going above the call of duty, you might be able to push prices even higher. it very clear stand from the ministers that are presenting at the meeting and we will continue to follow them very closely. a few more conversations today to get a better sense of whether anything is in the pipeline. for: thank you very much joining us from a debbie. a busy friday in other debbie on the manus: oil story. the export numbers for china, cannot. global demand weighing on sales commodities shipments down by 6.1% from december. asking some banks to stop processing y cross-border yuan payments. anna: marcus from the lloyd's private bank joining us in the studio. you said earlier on that you are quite upbeat on china.

1:39 am
interest rate. over 5% during the last six months produced a huge boost for the chinese economy. manus: the one thing that jars bell. mind, a ringing and thet this data white line is where our viewers are focused. yuan, underthe wiki u.s. consumers. -- we all being the first one to get on the reflation bus? i want a ticket and to be at the fronts. this does not convince me. it is not as much about the export. the global economy is doing well. it is about the rustic demand in china picking up decently and
1:40 am
that would be helpful for multinational operating in china and companies selling into china. what china buys as a domestic economy than what it sells to the world. boeing.eaking news on boeing winning a $22 billion order from india's budget carrier spice jet. 205 planes including purchase rights for 50. all of this in a statement in order for boeing aircraft. 22 billion, looks to be higher than had previously been expected. big questions about the china story. depending on what he wants to do with any terrorists.
1:41 am
where is china do you think? be the exportsd into the u.s. and it's all depends on the trade policy that the trump administration is going to put in place. we brought hoping to hear more about that this week i think we still have to wait for a couple of where -- weeks as we -- at least. ,or the chinese economy itself or to be looked at this self, from a negative trend in it imports. if you look at the orange line you see that imports have been ticking up. it is more of a domestic demand story than an export story. on --is still commitment dependent on exports. manus: a conversation with hsbc, you are talking about not
1:42 am
standing in front of the truck bus. that's was david bloom's wine. i get this sense with the pboc it may be piecemeal as it comes along but this is a central bank that for me is defending the most clear message to the market yuanthey don't want the runaway trend. the market is split. how do you read those? marcus: two key elements. clearly the pboc has been late in managing currency to align with the global trends. still more reflation to come differently. no central bank will want to live with high currency volatility. that is what they are looking at. depending on market forces they
1:43 am
will manage accordingly. theynk they will --anna: will not let us go? will not be a massive surprise, it's will be a steady process. clearly we don't know about unknown unknowns. comp is a big unknown. that is where we stand now. basically that is what i think about the pboc. anna: thank you. cio of lloyd's private bank. manus: bogus's ceo out the the earnings of the top of the next hour. anna: janet yellen sees no serious short-term obstacle for the u.s. economy. the best christmas in years. could wall street post-its strongest third quarter since the financial question -- crisis? this is bloombeg.

i don't think it is as much of a certainty is most people believe it to be. i don't think it is as much as a certainty as november of last year. in the last couple of days it has been testament to that. a testament to the phenomenon and the markets we have coined as consensus without conviction. this probably the third year we are seeing this phenomenal surface. marketind of the entire being positioned one way. the slight mention of a little something they come running for the exit doors. we saw it in the beginning of 2015 on the back of four proposed fed hikes. we saw in 16 in the first four days on china wobbles. now we are seeing it again as the certainty of what trump may or may not deliver and how quickly this will come. it is becoming a little questionable. anna: why are you not as convinced? is it because the market lacked conviction you think?

2:12 am
then not talking about fiscal stimulus. aroundements in markets an expectation that had been built up. what volatility do we get when they start to talk about stuff? the dollar, the strength, will he let that stand? will he treat about that -- tweet about that? ken: whether you are talking to here's something what we got was everything but president. it was not serious. some sort of platform. i think that is what may have given the market the shakes. as far as his attention on what the dollar may do over the course of the next few months, ironically i think he is going to be quite proud of the fact that america has a strong dollar. i don't think you look at the
